HTML - Gateway [v0.2.5] [Feebs]

One of the best html/real porn games.
Real porn games are my favorite genre but can suffer from some simple flaws that kill immersion. Gateway does a great job avoiding that for the most part. (Watermarks)
It's clear the media was carefully chosen and some details in the text molded around it for better immersion.
UI is intuitive, has built in fast travel, quest tracker/hints, mouseover tooltips, and other features I'm not thinking of off the dome. Built in cheats and scene gallery.
I enjoy the writing more than most games and find myself actually invested in the story.
I've started going deeper than I intended. The game is great, lots of hot sex, great writing and story. UI is on point as is QoL. I cheated resources so can't speak to that grind.
5 stars from me.

Has a very interesting storyline. Similar to the sci fi books gateway series. If he can balance all the mechanics and streamline the interface it will be one of the great games here. I like the real porn, but I think 3d modelling is better, but only if the developer has the resources to develop it quickly. I say build with real porn the when complete or nearly complete, replace with quality 3d graphics and animation

Probably the best designed sandbox HTML game on the site. Whether you care for the content or not, Gateway sets a new standard on what HTML realporn games can be. It really makes you realize how little other devs utilize the engine, be it from laziness, or lack of actual coding knowledge.

Pros:

++ Aforementioned design, both in interactivity as well as QoL features. I particularly enjoy the management aspect of the game. It strikes a good balance between being meaninful, and not being overly cumbersome. The navigation and character tracking features make the time of day slot sandbox event gameplay as (relatively) painless as possible.

++ LI diverity. Different body types, skin tones, and maturity levels. Videoclips are consistent and well chosen. Scenes at least one clip with sound, which is a huge plus for me.

++ Not overly branchy gameplay. Definitely follows harem game rules in that you can see most if not all the content on a single save. No slow burn either. Hits you with the H early and often.

Neutral/YMMV:

Writing is in either British or Australian English, I can't put my finger on it. Obviously it's a nitpick at worst, but if you're used to American English, some of the word choices, particularly in H scenes, might catch you off guard. It's hard for me to read, for example , "She began to suck on me ol' bellend" in any erotic tone whatsoever, but that's on me.

Needs Improvement:

- Story is a little hard to follow at times. Overall I like all the different characters; they more or less are distinct enough from each other, but the overarching narrative feels a little much. Perhaps I'm just a moron. Luckily, you don't really have to read too much into it to enjoy.

- Occasional bugs, mostly UI stuff. The dark side of having a dev that actually codes things. You can't get scripting errors if you don't write scripts. None of them have been serious or game-breaking for me.

I've played a lot of games on F95ZONE and can honestly say that most are decent I have a few I truly enjoy this being one of them . This Dev has used a Diversity of actresses I haven't seen in other games. It truly makes this game enjoyable for anyone that doesn't fixate on 1 body type. I'm looking forward to the additions Feebs puts into the New updates as this is the one game I keep coming back to.

The grind may put some people off however the cheats allow you to get passed that I personally recommend playing it through the current update with out cheats before using them on any other play through to see possible missed content.

This is a truly well thought out and excuted Game Feebs thank you and keep up the good work

6 Star game!

You manage a 'portal' for travelers, complete tasks/quests, and manage the area. There are tons of ladies to 'interact' with and many different things to do.

It's setup more like a star topology rather than a simple linear story. This most certainly helps keep you entertained. There's just so much to do. It's great.

You can 'oversee' research, construction, as well as other areas, boost stats w the ladies, interact with travelers, go to a different city to broker peace, and so much more. Once you do some of these things, you then learn to do them more efficiently depending on where you assign people to work. Sounds like a lot, and it is, but the way it's setup it isn't overwhelming at all.

The interface is fantastic, colors are great, and updates are fairly quick having already released 2 or 3 content updates in the last 3 months along with other patches. This really gives the impression that Gateway will be around for quite some time. There is already a ton of content as well.

As far as live porn videos go. Yes a lot of times there are just videos thrown in and none of the characters match. However, Feebs seems to at least have tried to keep some coherency. Honestly it's a giant turnoff for me to see multiple guys with the love interest and just have the MC's name slapped on it. Feebs seems to have tried a LOT to use video clips where it seems to be the same guy and minimize this issue. I know you can't all the time, but anyway....Feebs has done the best job so far.

The multitude of ladies are all very beautiful, other than the tattoos. (I know that's just a personal hangup..)
Lots of women, lots of personalities, lots of fake boobs, and lots of different looks.

Am so glad I found Gateway. Extremely good release, especially for being so new. Can't recommend enough!
Sorry so long...lol

ps.... I keep games muted so have no idea about the sounds.....

As a purveyor of HTML games this is absolutely one of the best sandbox games.

The Good:

• Tons of content
• Tons of girls
• UI is simple and effective with helpful tooltips
• Story is good
• Not your regular porn actress
• Management is a supporting system and doesn't overly detract.

The Bad:

• The Sex Scene dialogue is terrible.
• The attempt at girls accents is distracting
• Looping scenes with sound track is jarring
• Player Agency seems minor

I've seen a lot of complaints about the game being grindy. I didn't feel that at all until ~60 as I was wrapping up side content. Family members are a little grindy but I didn't feel like it was overwhelming because I still had expeditions to send people on and buildings were still getting built. Since there are a ton of characters having the quest tracker really helped not only keep the side stories going, but track where the girls were since the icon on the sandbox UI aren't as clear as needed to track all of the girls.

I know sandbox explodes in dev time with player agency, and there are a couple of !!!Important!!! decisions but it felt overly scripted story-wise.

Great game.

I'm very late in rating this thread because I was busy playing the game! So addictive! It's a great sandbox type game where you can build a harem of some very sexy women! There's also some tasks that need to be kept tab upon and the universe built is quite promising to have even more beautiful encounters!
The only problem that I have been facing has been with playing the game on a mobile interface. The text, the photos, the videos and generally the entire UI tends to go haphazard and it's very difficult to play. Works great on a larger screen.

The scenes and pictures chosen are all very stiff, and it goes way too heavy into plot all at once and ends up being overly verbose and dull. Scenes dont really progress in an satisfying order either.

The best HTML game at the moment.

Interesting plot and its presentation. Interesting characters. In the game there is a system of resources, but you can not grind them, because the game has cheats. On the roles of characters selected cool actresses.

Can't wait to see the update

My very favorite HTML Game i've ever played.

The Positives:

1. Grinding the game is optional with free cheats in the computer
2. The UI is Simple and well polished
3. The story is steady throughout; providing enough time between important scenes to develop both the story and the characters.
4. Player Choice! Yes, the game has a set story, but decisions to take the game like who to send through the "Gateway" and how to develop the story with different characters provide both a static story AND a sandbox feeling
5. The management aspect is Great! Barebones, but in a way that feels purposeful as to merely add to the game, not steal the show
6. Clarity on side quests and the main quest, and the ability to hide quests if you want
7. More that im definitely not thinking of

The Negatives

*Checks notes* I currently dont think i have one. Dead serious

Conclusion: Thanks for reading! Never done many reveiws but I wanted to for this game. I very much hope the developer (Being Feebs) Never abandons this game, and doesnt change too much. I hope the dev keeps the positive elements of the game while adding content. Will continue to play!

Great game. Fun, original storyline. Some characters are easy to pursue, others more difficult. This gives rewards throughout the game without feeling grindy. Building aspect adds another layer to the game.

This is a great game for fans of real porn. Lots of girls with good model choices and a steady progression with each. Cheats are built-in to speed things along for those who prefer it. Clean, intuitive UI. I encountered very few bugs, and none that were game-breaking. And a fun story to tie it all together. Keep it up, dev!

I've spent many hours on this game, so I really recommend it, if you like science fiction. Review version 0.1.5 - I usually don't make reviews of on going projects unless it's terrible, but this game has a lot of content.

The worst: It's way to hard to know what to do next, there's way to much time when there's really nothing to do. There should be warnings when new stuff is avaliable (some stuff already have like photoshoot) and when you reach the limit for every character and story point, and it gets worse, some characters have warnings like 'there's no more corruption for this character' but then you keep playing and there's a lot more content for the same character. And this adds up to the next point:

Way to much grind, my god this game is grindy. Endless clicking, and thought it has a lot of content it just make it seems it really doesn't. Dev also knows this, for there's a cheat option on the computer, and with cheat on, this game is way to grind, I can't imagine to play this game without cheat, but there's some bugs with the cheats and you kinda have to do it manually, so THE CHEAT ITSELF IS GRIND. lol.

The dialogs are ok, not great not terrible. And the scenes are "real porn", nothing is more fake than real porn. It's not my preference, but it is what it is, the editing is well done for most part. Some scenes, especailly in the very beggining are kinda poor, but as game goes on the scenes are more elaborate and better overral. There's relative few sex scenes, about 25%, most are felatio, masturbation and lesbian scenes.

The story really is the highlight of this game, I really enjoyed most of it so far, but there's a few caviats:

One of the best games on the site as far as I'm concerned. It hits all the right things for me; real porn, harem, enthusiastic consent. I'm eagerly awaiting the next update. There should definitely be a discord for this one.

Very good real porn html game with videos with sound. Game can be a bit grindy but cheats can help. Only problem is cheats can then cause bugs. Grind is there but it is not so bad that you can still enjoy the game.

Nice diveristy of characters, each one has a distinct personality, something other games have trouble achieving. The mystery aspect of the writing is excellent, really makes the player want to continue for not just lewds but also the story. If the quality maintains this level, I'd say it could become one of the top 10 on the site.

An extremely fun and enjoyable game, even at this early stage of 0.1.5 version that's well supported with bugfixes by a skilled developer working hard towards his vision.

I start by saying the above because a number of good html games have suffered due to the bugs that are ignored and it's refreshing to see a developer taking a priority along with his testers. Kudos to them all !

On with the review - the style is extremely refreshing utilizing all the goodness that html provides making the look and feel aspect really stand out. Minor details have been taken into account in presentation making the experience more engaging - everything a player wants in terms of UI has already been implemented. Even though the story can be a little complex, its still a lot of fun with mystery and suspense. Even if one is not into the story too much the sheer amount of content is mind blowing for such an early release. The models, their characters, the scenes are all very well selected. Even though there are so many (and I truly have lost count) they actually feel unique in their own respect and one can appreciate the work done there.

I truly wish the developer and his team of testers the very best - we are all rooting for you !

Pretty excellent writing, a good choice of models, *an actually interesting mystery story!*...

Consider me pleasantly surprised. Now I wouldn't mind more than just the (mild) corruption but otherwise this is a very strong showing already.

I do hope this goes far and isn't abandoned like so many others

There is A LOT here! Amazing amount of content so far and only encountered one minor bug. Excellent game. Hope to see this developed further and continue. Great html game dev! Already a ton of ladies and a ton of content. Hope you keep it up!

Highly recommend, even if it is just an intiial release. Great story start, great choice of scenes, great overall. Rarely seen a game look this good straight out of the gate, can't wait to see where it goes
